Early access program starts for PolarFire SoC, which delivers simultaneous support of real-time applications and rich operating systems with power efficiency.

intelligent-aerospace.com, Dec. 19, 2019 – 

The trend towards compute intensive gateways and edge devices is driving the integration of traditional deterministic control applications with additional embedded processing capabilities needed for smart and secure connected systems. In response, Microchip Technology Inc. in Chandler, Ariz., is opening the early access program (EAP) for the PolarFire field programmable gate array (FPGA) system-on-chip (SoC). The platform offers hardened real-time, Linux capable, RISC-V-based microprocessor subsystem on the award-winning, mid-range PolarFire FPGA family, bringing class-leading low power consumption, thermal efficiency and defense grade security to embedded systems.

Qualified EAP customers can start designing now with Microchip's Libero SoC 12.3 FPGA design suite and SoftConsole 6.2 integrated development environment for the embedded developer. Customers can also debug their embedded applications today using Renode, a virtual model of the microprocessor subsystem.
